Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
Male: Number of deaths: 0
Female: Number of deaths: 0
Clinical signs:
Signs of toxicity related to dose levels: No relevant clinical signs for systemic toxicity were observed.
Body weight:
Body weights: Body weight and body weight gain was inconspicuous in all animals.


Necropsy findings: No abnormal findings were made in the animals at the necropsy 14 d p.a., except for one: In the affected female coverings on glandular stomach mucosa and on spleen surface were found.

Necropsy findings: No abnormal findings were made in the animals at the necropsy 14 d p.a., except for one: In the affected female large adrenal glands were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50,oral,rats is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

The standard acute oral toxicity method according to the EU- and OECD-guidelines was applied. The substance was administered by gavage in a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight to 5 male and 5 female rats.

No mortality occurred. No relevant toxic effects of the test substance were noted by signs in life and post mortem. The oral LD50 was determined to >2000 mg/kg body weight.
